    Any tips? Good plugins, etc?

    That's some good looking work there. Nice job - it works on the latest 0.9.6.4 version.

    Only problem is I don't have any artwork for the tracks, so I gotta get myself some.
  2. Thanks I only have a few albums with albumart as well, but I'm adding some everyweek
  3. I have album art for every bootleg and every album, that makes it awesome to work with


  4. The component for Messenger to show what song is playing works a treat as well. Now to find some artwork...
  5. Artwork makes it look good but Im lazy to download the covers everytime


  6. Is there some component or script around to automate the process, say from Amazon? They're always pretty high-quality covers.

    For the bootlegs, though, is another question.


  7. When I started my bootleg collection (the lossy one) I already used Foobar so I downloaded the front-cover automatically every time, and named it "cover.jpg" so it would always work.

    Did Windows have a habit to resize your cover.jpg to 200x200, or did it leave it at the original size?

    The reason for that was that to set up Foobar properly, it needed all the artwork. The thing is, Windows decided to resize them back to 200x200, meaning the artwork was all pixelated and blocky - which looked completely stupid. iTunes can do the artwork and embeds it properly, but I don't want to use iTunes to do that all the time. One program to do everything would be a much better idea.

    I tried Folder.jpg and it did the same thing. Maybe setting as read-only might do it.

    Windows didn't have any habits, I saved all the covers at the highest possible resolution.


  10. Must just be me then.

    Check your email as well - something there for you.
  11. For commercial albums there are scripts to use Amazon for albumart sources . And I found the complete u2 bootleg cover archive on the U2Hub, will share that one when I have time (this weekend maybe).

    What might help a lot is adding this line to the ChronFlow preferences (Album sources):

    $replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)cover.jpg


    Because a lot of U2Start bootlegs have that file
